You need data before you need them! What to do / How:

o Data clusters: production, trade, hh status, prices, costs, expenditures, etc

o Working Groups/Task Forces: bureau of statistics; NARs; data units in finance; trade, sector ministries

o Common platform: harmonized standards and exchange protocols

1. IMPROVED DATA SYSTEMS


KEY ELEMENTS

A serious policy maker has to have constant access to a high quality technical team. What to do/How:

o Network: build AND maintain a network of leading national centers of expertise

o Engagement: create mechanism with a plan to engage and use local expertise agreement on long term strategic research vehicle for ad hoc, short term technical input

2. READY-TO-USE TOP EXPERTISE


KEY ELEMENTS

Oil the system! What/how:

o Dream team: assemble qualified team, first from existing staff, later dedicated team

o Feed the beast: define demand for policy research and link to research networks

o Connect!: ensure access to evidence and its use in policy formulation

3. EFFECTIVE COORDINATION / BROKERING FUNCTION


KEY ELEMENTS

Cultivate knowledge. What/how:

o Infrastructure: create up-to-date IT platformo Knowledge base: build, maintain, and expand

knowledge base: start with collecting existing key data, reports, and policy documents

o Right to know: eliminate barriers to accessing knowledge

o Never Forget: build memory of actions, processeses, outcomes – lessons learning to avoid past mistakes

LINKING DATA TO ANALAYIS TO POLICY

• Strategic analysis: data, tools, and analysis for monitoring key growth and poverty-reduction priorities and assessing the impacts of interventions to address key questions

• Knowledge management– develop a common pool of up-to-date information on key

indicators to support policy planning, analysis, and dialogue– document lessons for improving future growth and poverty

reduction strategies

• Capacity strengthening and policy communication– collaborate and work closely with national and regional networks

of partners in doing above– facilitate access to and share results and knowledge with

policymakers and others through various media and interactions
